Indiana Jones - Pursuit of the Ark statue

[Rorywan]

Saw it at Sideshow offices.

Places a Wait List order for the Exclusive and it converted today.

Have to say I like the look of this as well. Was it the proto you saw?
only thing holding me back is the fear of a poor paint app. Looks very cool so far.

 

[CollectorNC]

Well if it shows up and is a sloppy paint job, can't you just return it?

 

[Tbolt]

I jumped on the waitlist for this, had it convert, and jumped back off. Too many things coming or may be coming in June.

I still like it an awful lot though, so maybe a regular down the road...if the paint is good.

 

[masterside]

And the headsculpt? What's your impression about this?

 

[IrishJedi]

I was told it was a production sample. It looked a lot like the early prototype pics to me.

It just got pushed to september

Wow, from June to Sept.? That would make it one year since the day I ordered it. That's ridiculous.

Yeah it sucks, I ordered my exclusive september 20th. Well I guess that gives us a little more time to save up the cash. But a whole year is a long time to wait I think it's about a year wait with almost every piece Sideshow releases these days

 

[Tbolt]

Grrrrr if I had known it wasn't shipping til September I wouldn't have cancelled!

Did you re-order? I read that your waitlist converted, which was quick!

 

[Tbolt]

Yeah I jumped back on the WL. I can't imagine too many people joined the WL after me, so I am expecting it to re-convert again this week. September is actually perfect timing for this. Well for me anyway.

 

[IrishJedi]

Your chances are good. Again, I got on the WL less than 2 weeks ago and it has already converted.

 

[Tuskeraider78]

September sucks for me, would have been better if it had arrived June. So many other collectibles coming in September and it is my wifes 30th birthday. Well I guess it's bread and water for the next following months

 

[budafett]

Very disappointing, I wonder why, a 3 month delay is pretty big.

 

[Matner77]

Personally I'm glad of the delay gives me more time to save funds.

You could always just not spend the money that you would have had in June?

 

[Tuskeraider78]

You could always just not spend the money that you would have had in June?

That's true. I just have to figure out a way to hide the money from my wife, and my self for that matter so I won't be tempted to buy other collectibles

 

[budafett]

I just wish sideshow would say why!! This is my number one piece of 2013!

 

[choopie]

Any more delays and this will be slipping into 2014.

The more this statue keeps getting delayed the more I pay attention to the horses detail and the funny looking head and tail. This is in contrast to the temple of doom series were the likeness is uncanny.

The pursuit of the ark looks great in certain aspects, but something about the horse still does not add up I don't know if its the position of the eye, the horse snout or the horses maine.

I am getting cold feet especially with a $600 dollar figure for a regular version in Australia. hopefully come this July more pictures and videos from comic con will clear up any of my uncertainties otherwise I will be cancelling.
